I rode the Kappa Quest Reverse twice before. I planned on riding at least 2 laps but stopped as I approached the third climb up the Temple KOM. Route Basics from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/kappa-quest\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> Length: 9 km (5.6 miles) Elevation: 139 m (456\u2018) Lead-In: 3.3 km (2.1 miles). I rode 12.00 miles and climbed 971 feet. A short ride but plenty of effort going up the climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the first time up Temple KOM my ghost rider helped pace me to a new personal record. The second time I couldn&#8217;t keep up with him. The climbs were on dirt\/gravel and I should&#8217;ve stopped to change to a gravel bike but I didn&#8217;t. I rode a road bike. I got out of the saddle several times going up the KOM thanks to the stability of my Wahoo Kickr Core trainer. The graph below shows the weekly effort from Strava.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
